While often used to refer to rapping, "hip hop" more properly denotes the practice of the entire subculture. The term hip hop music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop culture, including DJing, turntablism, and scratching, beatboxing, and instrumental tracks.

Die Antwoord

Die Antwoord (pronounced[di'ɑnt.ʋoːrt], Afrikaans for "The Answer") is a South African rap-rave group formed in Cape Town in 2008. The group was formed by rappers Ninja and Yolandi Visser (often stylized as Vi$$er) and DJ Hi-Tek. Die Antwoord's image is based on a counterculture movement known as zef in South Africa, and incorporated elements of the work of photographer Roger Ballen.

Die Antwoord released their debut album, $O$ (2009), online for free and attracted international attention for their music video for "Enter the Ninja". After briefly signing with Interscope Records, in 2011 they founded their own label Zef Recordz, and released their second and third studio albums, Ten$Ion (2012) and Donker Mag (2014).

Background and style

Die Antwoord's lead vocalist, Ninja, was part of the South African hip-hop scene for many years, fronting acts such as The Original Evergreen, MaxNormal.TV and The Constructus Corporation. Their debut album $O$ relates to their earlier work, specifically Good Morning South Africa. In the album, multiple tracks are sampled from, or are exact copies of songs on Good Morning South Africa, such as the "Rap Rave Megamix"-where the first glimpses of Jones' Ninja character was seen- were later reformed into the "Zef Side" video, and later "Beat Boy". Ninja told Rolling Stone, "Everything I did before Die Antwoord was me experimenting, messing around and trying to find Die Antwoord . . . everything before it was disposable. It was all throwaway."

There also have been groups in Tanzania and other countries that emceed before 1989, although it is not very well known. During the late 1980s-early 1990s rap started to escalate all over Africa. Each region had a new type of style of hip hop. Rap elements are also found in Kwaito, a new genre based on house music which developed in South Africa in the 1990s.

Algeria

Algerian hip hop music, as a genre, includes the hip hop music of both native Algerians and Algerians abroad. Algerians living abroad have contributed much to this genre, especially in France, where they are also considered part of the French hip hop scene. Some of these Algerians have become prominent. Algeria also has a hip hop scene, which, while less well-known internationally, is among the most developed in Africa and the Arab world.

X Plastaz

X Plastaz is a Tanzanian hip hop musical group based in Arusha and founded in 1996. They are one of the most popular acts in the Tanzanian hip hop scene. Their style mixes elements from international hip hop and traditional Maasai music, represented by Maasai singer Merege. While Merege sings in maa (Maasai language), the other members of the group rap in swahili and haya. Merege is also well known to perform in traditional Maasai clothings.

X Plastaz hip hop is slower paced that most African hip hop and strongly characterised by Maasai deep chanting. X Plastaz songs such as Aha!, Dunia dudumizi, Bamiza and, most notably, Msimu kwa msimu are among the most popular hits in the bongo flava genre.

History

The first line-up of X Plastaz consisted in the Ruff and Gsann brothers from Arusha, together with their colleague and roommate Ziggy from the Tanga Region. They began singing hip hop in 1995, while earning their living in a haircutting saloon. In 1996 they were noticed by Bonnie Luv, a record producer from Dar es Salaam, who had them record some single. Their first hit was Bamiza (1998), that was one of the most played songs by Tanzanian radios for several weeks. Another hit soon followed, Wachaga piga chata.

Some of South Africa's most prolific artists will be present in support with a huge draw card of Tumi from the Volume facing one of the USA's top contenders. This will surely be the event of the year
NESSLEE
Ness Lee is by far the funniest battler in rap history. Having accumulated more than 2 million views on Youtube, he has made himself accessible to a world audience with smooth and easy delivery. Packed full of jokes, Ness Lee has brought the house down around the world, and looks to do the same in South Africa.
TUMI
During the past year Tanzanian-born, South African poet/MC Tumi Molekane has been travelling around Africa performing festivals and shooting a documentary film with director Vincent Moloi, tracing back his childhood in exile and re-establishing musical relationships he has cultivated over his career. Amongst these steps the world renowned artist took over the past year, he too entered into Africas biggest battle league, Scrambles4Money. Appearing at their maiden event, Tumi blew the audience away with an amazingly raw performance and open him up the battle rap world. This pioneer is now back to defend the pride of South Africa as he looks to take on the American Ness Lee in Scrambles4Money's Talk Is Cheap 2 event. Now slouch to any form of rap, Tumi's fans in Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda can look forward to his second battle with one of the best exports the U.S has to offer.
DEADMAN
The quiet assassin, Deadman is another west coast veteran who has in the past year boosted himself to stardom with some amazing performances. A punch line and wordplay genius, Deadman has slowly been accumulating a few million Youtube views and steadily rising to the top of the battle rap game.
PAVAGUNZ
Hailing from Secunda, Pava Gunz burst onto the South African hip hop scene with some of the most memorable performances to date on the Scrambles battle circuit. He has taken on the best that Mzanzi has to offer and cleaned up the stage with hard well thought out delivery and concepts. One of scrambles most valued rappers, Pava now looks to take on an international opponent to secure himself as a world class emcee capable of facing top competition on any continent
LEXX LUTHOR
New york native, and one of the hardest and funniest battle rappers of today, LexxLuthor has undoubtedly stamped his authority on the battle rap world. Often comical with harsh undertone, Lexx skilfully moulds the crowd around his finger as he picks his opponents apart. Having travelled around the world battling on various stages, Lexx now looks to African soil to battle the S4M champion, Illite Emcee.
ILLITE
Illite Mc also known as IllyAmin is a rapper based in Johannesburg who is part of a collective of rappers known as Revivolution. His career began in 2007 in school with his friends but has grown in leaps and bounds. Since 2012 Illy has been making a mark on the Joburg hiphop scene. The rapper has featured numerous times on YFM's Full Clip Hip-Hop show hosted by Siz n Scoop and released a music video "Trolling" to critical acclaim. He has the honour of being the first ever SA champion of Battle rap in 2013 when he won the Scrambles4Money Foreign Exchange tournament where as a result he got a chance to battle in the world renowned King Of The DotWorld Domination 4 event in Toronto Canada. Upon his return he participated in the Redbull BassCamp, where 30 young artists were selected from around South Africa to collaborate musically and learn from legendary musicians such as Hugh Masekela and Black Coffee. The rapper continues to work on his music in 2014 and is slated to release his debut mix-tape Straight Outta GrimeTown in the first quarter of 2014.

A battle event that will face off some of the best international opponents against SA's best battle emcees. With all battles being filmed and uploaded onto our website and youtube channel, this will surely be the biggest and most prolific south African hip hop event to ever happen with the potential for world wide recognition guaranteed. Some of South Africa's most prolific artists will be present in support with a huge draw card of Tumi from the Volume facing one of the USA's top contenders. This will surely be the event of the year
NESSLEE
Ness Lee is by far the funniest battler in rap history. Having accumulated more than 2 million views on Youtube, he has made himself accessible to a world audience with smooth and easy delivery. Packed full of jokes, Ness Lee has brought the house down around the world, and looks to do the same in South Africa.
TUMI
During the past year Tanzanian-born, South African poet/MC Tumi Molekane has been travelling around Africa performing festivals and shooting a documentary film with director Vincent Moloi, tracing back his childhood in exile and re-establishing musical relationships he has cultivated over his career. Amongst these steps the world renowned artist took over the past year, he too entered into Africas biggest battle league, Scrambles4Money. Appearing at their maiden event, Tumi blew the audience away with an amazingly raw performance and open him up the battle rap world. This pioneer is now back to defend the pride of South Africa as he looks to take on the American Ness Lee in Scrambles4Money's Talk Is Cheap 2 event. Now slouch to any form of rap, Tumi's fans in Tanzania, Nigeria, Kenya and Uganda can look forward to his second battle with one of the best exports the U.S has to offer.
DEADMAN
The quiet assassin, Deadman is another west coast veteran who has in the past year boosted himself to stardom with some amazing performances. A punch line and wordplay genius, Deadman has slowly been accumulating a few million Youtube views and steadily rising to the top of the battle rap game.
PAVAGUNZ
Hailing from Secunda, Pava Gunz burst onto the South African hip hop scene with some of the most memorable performances to date on the Scrambles battle circuit. He has taken on the best that Mzanzi has to offer and cleaned up the stage with hard well thought out delivery and concepts. One of scrambles most valued rappers, Pava now looks to take on an international opponent to secure himself as a world class emcee capable of facing top competition on any continent
LEXX LUTHOR
New york native, and one of the hardest and funniest battle rappers of today, LexxLuthor has undoubtedly stamped his authority on the battle rap world. Often comical with harsh undertone, Lexx skilfully moulds the crowd around his finger as he picks his opponents apart. Having travelled around the world battling on various stages, Lexx now looks to African soil to battle the S4M champion, Illite Emcee.
ILLITE
Illite Mc also known as IllyAmin is a rapper based in Johannesburg who is part of a collective of rappers known as Revivolution. His career began in 2007 in school with his friends but has grown in leaps and bounds. Since 2012 Illy has been making a mark on the Joburg hiphop scene. The rapper has featured numerous times on YFM's Full Clip Hip-Hop show hosted by Siz n Scoop and released a music video "Trolling" to critical acclaim. He has the honour of being the first ever SA champion of Battle rap in 2013 when he won the Scrambles4Money Foreign Exchange tournament where as a result he got a chance to battle in the world renowned King Of The DotWorld Domination 4 event in Toronto Canada. Upon his return he participated in the Redbull BassCamp, where 30 young artists were selected from around South Africa to collaborate musically and learn from legendary musicians such as Hugh Masekela and Black Coffee. The rapper continues to work on his music in 2014 and is slated to release his debut mix-tape Straight Outta GrimeTown in the first quarter of 2014.
